HalfEmptyWallet Notes: 1. They don’t walk you to or through the new home models, so you can either rush or take your time looking at all or any or whatever you want. Basically its on your time limit. If your time is limited, just look at one home then just walk out after and of course say thanks! They give you the $10 Shell Gas gift card in the beginning. We had time so we walked through the communities, man was it an exercise! 3 Communities in total: Saddlewood, Trailpoint, Windcroft.
2. Bring the newspaper with that specific ad in it (2nd image)
3. Find the Newspaper at 99 Ranch Market, Chinese communities in Southern California, Cafes, Restaurants, San Gabriel Valley and such. Found my edition at The Hub Cafe in Walnut near by.
4. If you’re not Asian, say your mom or Chinese friend gave you the newspaper haha
